The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote was a labour of love for guitarist William Kanengiser. He spent two years distilling 940 pages of Cervante’s classic novel into a one-hour stage show featuring the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and John Cleese of Monty Python fame. The words are adapted from a 2005 translation by Edith Grossman and the music is all carefully chosen from Cervante’s time to illustrate the mood and the narrative of the story.
